Question

By What number should(-3/4)-2 be multiplied so that product become (-2/3)-1?

Answer 1

Answer:

let the multiplied number be A

so

$( \frac{ - 3}{4} - 2) \times (x) \: = \frac{ - 2}{3} - 1$

taking LCM on both sides as.

$\frac{ - 11}{4} \times x \: = \frac{ - 5}{3}$

after cross multiplication

$- 33x = - 20$

therefore the number has to be multiplied with is

$\frac{20}{33}$
